Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base record access unacceptably slow

Hi Don,
In my view LO/OO do NOT require Java, neither on Linux nor on Windows.
As I posted earlier, I have been using ODBC for both the Windows and
Linux versions. It works o.k., even though I still hope that the native
MySQL-supplied connector will function correctly under 3.4.2.
Regards
